News this week: One of UBM Asia’s largest exhibitions, Furniture China,
concluded last week in Shanghai. The 20th edition of the exhibition
attracted nearly 2,700 exhibitors including 307 exhibitors from overseas. The
event was held at two venues, Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) and Shanghai
World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre.
The 2014 edition of
Furniture China resulted in 98,401 “visits” – including more than 21,800
overseas visitors. Visitors came from 158 countries and territories. The
overseas visitors number set a new record as it increased by 3.3% compared with
the 2013 figure.
Furniture China will
face a significant shift in its competitive landscape in 2015 as the new
400,000 m2 venue opens in the Hongqiao district of Shanghai and the China
Foreign Trade Group (CFTC),
also a part owner of the new venue, will use the mega-venue to organise the
first Shanghai edition of the China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) in September next year. The previous
34 September editions of CIFF were held in Guangzhou.
